if teh nickel show much wear after a short period of time it is low quality plating, if silver is "to slippery" then the silver is either actually chrome, ir it the silver content is off. i have seen "silver" instruments that have as little as 25% silver in the plating and some as high as 75% silver content it seems like 50% silver content is a sweet spot.

fyi i have seen clarinets and flutes dated in the 1980's to 1992 where the plating looks like it is worn off of the keys, this issue does seem more prevalent with buffet clarinets and flutes though specifically the student line.
